「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

49 | "I'll scream if I need you"

Then, Mayor Kennedy fell to the floor, blood pouring out from a bullet through his head.

I stared in horror at the scene.

I gasped loudly as screams of people echoed through the stadium. They pushed and shoved past Mia and I while we stood rooted in out spot. It was mayhem.

You could hear cries and yells and screams from every direction.

My eyes widened at Joseph walked onto the podium and adjusted the microphone, tucking a gun away in his pocket.

The Mayor's bodyguards rushed onto the field and put up a good fight but the men in suits, who were now obviously Joseph's men, shot them down one by one.

"The city is under new management," Joseph announced.

Mia grabbed my wrist and together we pushed past the herds of people rushing towards the exits, we ended up on the field next to Megan, Noah, Kyle, Liam, Dylan, Chase, Kasey, Val, Ethan, Grayson and Will.

"Is everyone okay?" I asked them and they all nodded.

Almost every civilian had exited the stadium now except for a few stragglers and Joseph's men.

"I guess they didn't like the show" Joseph said Elliot, who had joined him in the midst of everything,

"I for one, loved it" Elliot smirked, looking directly at us.

Everyone around me pulled out their guns, aiming it at Joseph and Elliot.

Joseph's men pulled out their own guns and pointed it at us, I sucked in a sharp breath, feeling my heart accelerate in my chest.

"Now, let's not get too hasty- see if you kill be you'll never know where your precious boyfriend is" Joseph said, looking directly at me, "If you want him, he's in the studio".

Noah looked back at me telling me to go and nodded to Dylan to follow me.

'Be careful' I mouthed to Noah, 'You too' he replied.

Dylan kept his gun raised as we headed to the large reflective glass booth. Anyone on the inside could see what outside the box but we couldn't see inside. It sat at the top of the stands where we climbed the stadium till we got to it, below we could faintly hear the voices of our friends.

"What's the plan?" Dylan asked me as we stood outside the metal door to the studio,

I raised my eyebrows at him, "You're asking me?"

"Yeah, no sorry let me just ask my twitter followers" he pulled out his phone, "Hey guys I'm here at the stadium where the mayor has just been killed! Now we're off to save my best friend's sister's boyfriend who's been kidnapped by his own father and is also the man who's threatening to take over the city! Hashtag; fun in the sun!",

I shot him a glare,

"Yeah that joke was unnecessary and not funny- I'm under a lot of stress don't judge me!" he cried and I rolled my eyes,

"Wait out here and I'm going in" I said and Dylan glared at me,

"Joseph just told us Logan's location without any strings attached doesn't that sound suspicious to you? And you want to go in alone, I thought we raised you better than that",

I rolled my eyes again, "You're on the other side of the door, I'll scream if I need you".

I pushed the door open,

Inside was a plain white room with only a long table scattered with microphones and papers and a few desk chairs behind it.

On one of those desk chairs sat Logan.

His head hung low, his chest heaved up and down slowly and his hands were tied behind the chair.

I gasped loudly, which caught his attention.

"Logan!" I cried as I kneeled down in front of him, when I got a closer look at him face he had a purple discolored bruise on his cheekbone and his lip was split open where dry blood had stained it.

When he lifted his head up to see me his eyes filled with relief and worry, my heart broke.

"I'm so sorry I didn't come to find you sooner, I missed you so much" I told him,

He leaned his forehead against mine, "I missed you too," he breathed.

Suddenly his head lifted up and his eyes widened, "Alexandra! Behind you!"

I immediately stood up on my feet and roundhouse kicked whoever was behind me, I ended up kicking Tobias in the face.

When I saw him my breath was knocked out of me, he was there that night at the warehouse  with Marcus.

He stumbled back, clutching his face as he cried out in pain.

Then he came at me again with a furious look on his face.

He threw punch after punch at me and I managed to block them until while I was distracted with his punches, he kicked below my knees, which had me lose my balance and topple onto the floor.

I groaned as my body hit the tiled floor and I screwed my eyes shut. I reopened them again with enough time to dodge the punch Tobias was just about to throw at me, I rolled to the side and his fist met with the floor.

I got onto my hands and knees quickly but Tobias kicked me in the side, hard. I fell again, sprawled onto the floor and he delivered kick after kick to my side.

"Stop!" I heard Logan struggle from his position in the chair,

Suddenly a gunshot went of just outside the door of the studio and my head snapped towards it, while I was distracted Tobias lifted me up by my hair.

I cried out in pain as he dragged me and pushed me up against the wall of the studio. The back of my head hit the hard wall and everything went out of focus and my head throbbed as I blinked rapidly to clear my vision.

"Couldn't get enough huh Hunter?" Tobias smirked and licked his lips, I felt physically sick as he held me up against the wall and I screwed my eyes shut.

Suddenly his grip on me loosened and he cried out in pain before he fell to the floor, almost dragging me down with him.

Dylan caught me before I fell and my vision refocused as I saw Tobias fall unconscious, a large metal pole looking thing lying on the flood beside him. I smiled gratefully at Dylan who helped me walk over to Logan's chair where I untied him.

He immediately stood up and wrapped me in a hug and I nearly melted at his touch.

Then he pulled apart and took me into a passionate kiss, one that I had missed so dearly. Logan cupped my cheeks and deepened the kiss; I knew he needed this as much as I did.

Dylan cleared his throat from behind us,

"So I get that you two love birds are having this intimate moment and shit but could we keep in mind that there's a psychopath threatening to take over the city just below us",

Logan's eyes hardened, "Let's go",
